We've all seen those couples on Instagram who post idyllic travel photos together all over the world. The way these couples present themselves on social media, makes it hard to imagine their life is anything short of perfect.
But that is not the case.
As we ourselves are a travelling couple, we thought we'd share some common misconceptions people have about couples who travel.
1: All Loved Up
This is probably the biggest misconception of them all. Everybody looks at us on our adventures and assumes that we are having awesome time without troubles. Well guess what, thats false. Couples aren’t immune to arguments and we’ve had our fair share of pointless ‘debates’ on our adventures.
2: Boring
Another big contender, just because we are a couple does not mean we don’t like to partaay. We like to have fun just as much as the next person. Tequila anyone?..
3: Don’t Like to Make New Friends
As a couple we do get tired of each others company. Making friends and socialising is essential when travelling so that we don’t kill each other in our dorm room.
4: Want to Do Everything Together
Yes we are a couple and yes we travel together. However being two different people we have two different sets of interests. Theres only so much sunbathing one guy can take before he gets bored.
5: We Only Want To Travel Together
Sorry we don’t take third wheels.. ha wrong. As much as we like each others company we do like road trips with our friends and picking up the occasionally hitchhiker.
